Hi all, I'm trying to create a survey/form where users have to upload a video clip. Of course this means that the file sizes are quite large, so I tried to compensate for that by setting the Upload File question max filesize to 1048576 and changing php.ini post_max_size and upload_max_filesize to1100M.

This seems to have helped somewhat as I was able to upload a 1MB file with no problem, however when I tried a 2.5MB file, limesurvey rejects it.

Please see the attached screen shot for the error screen and file details:


Im not sure if this is a bug or configuration problem. If anyone has any insight I would be very appreciative!

Thanks!

What version build of Limesurvey is used?
In the screenshot I still see the limit "You can upload mov, m4v, mp4 under 2048 KB each".

Did you change the limit which is in the options of the fileupload question type?
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_...d_.28max_filesize.29

And : your phpinfo please :

Note: The final value shown to the survey participant is also depending on PHP settings, like post_max_size and upload_max_filesize. Of all three possible values (upload_max_filesize, post_max_size and max_filesize) the lowest one will be shown and used.

Yes, I changed the post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in php.ini to 1100M. There was no max_filesize in my php.ini file.

Yes I set the Maximum file size allowed to 1048576 in the question settings.

I am aware that the dialogue box says "under 2048 KB each", I don't know if that is a bug or some other issue.

Version is 2.50+ Build 160408

Please try a lower maximum file size in Limesurvey and check again. E.g. "20240"
I am not using LS 2.5. Let's see if the message "under 2048 KB each" changes. If not, I would say there is a bug with Limesurvey itself.

I'm experiencing a similar problem. I've set php.ini relevant values to 20Mb and the maximum size for the question to 5120Kb, but I can only upload files with a max size of 500Kb or so. I'm using LS 2.50+ Build 160620
I would really appreciate any help
Thank you

Bumping this. I'm having the same problem. Is there any fix in store?

Thanks!

Hi,

I am also looking at this problem. We are using Lime Version 2.57. Which PHP file should I be editing? Where is this file located within the survey directory?

Kind Regards,
Conrad

Most of the settings are part of the PHP interpreter. The file is mostly called php.ini.
Depending on your hosting environment you can change the settings or not.
PHP.ini is not releated to the Limesurvey installation.

The php.ini contains settings like this:
memory_limit = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 48M
post_max_size = 64M

php.net/manual/features.file-upload.common-pitfalls.php

The bootstrap fileinput.js allows to set a maxfilesize.
In the file uploader script probably the developers set a max-size, which is obviously necessary.

Of course you can discuss the value.
